I woke up to my phone's alarm clock going off. Groaning in annoyance, I grabbed my phone and turned off the alarm. I sat up in bed just staring off into space. Today was Friday, our last day of jury duty for the week.
Checking the time on my phone, I realized that it was time to get ready. I got out of bed and headed to my bathroom. As soon as I got out of bed, I heard some books fall on the ground making me jump. "Oh yeah," I suddenly remembered. "I fell asleep doing my homework." I'm such a good student.
After realizing that I failed to wrap my hair last night, I attempted to fix it by adjusting some of the curls. When I determined that it was somewhat presentable for now, I began brushing my teeth. In the mist of my morning routine, I heard a knock on my door.
I briskly walked to my door while still brushing my teeth. I blindly opened the door without checking to see who it was. Logan stood leaning against the door frame wearing the same thing he wore last night.
"Long night?" He asked suddenly smirking as he examined me. I immediately felt embarrassed when I remembered that I wasn't wearing a bra. Please don't let him notice.
I brought my arm closer to my chest as I continued brushing my teeth and nodded in response to his question. I waved my hand for him to come inside. As he walked inside, I went back to the bathroom to finish brushing my teeth. I looked around the bathroom searching for my bra and failed to locate it. After my failed attempt, I walked back out.
"What's up?" I asked, curious as to why he was here. I crossed my arms against my chest to cover myself. Where the hell did I toss my bra?
"Well, they're having a breakfast buffet downstairs and I just came to let you know." He informed me as he sat on my bed.
"Oh, okay. Thanks for telling me." Logan nodded and laid down on my bed resting his head on my pillows.
"How did you sleep last night?" He asked while engulfing himself in my bed. I walked over to the bed and sat on the edge of it.
"Are you going to ask me this everyday?" I raised my eyebrow and questioned his intentions.
"Yes." He replied without any hesitation.
"Any particular reason?" He sat up in my bed so that we were both looking at each other in the eyes. He found a small pillow lying near by and held it.
"I'm just waiting for the day you need me to come sleep with you." I looked at him in disgust and rolled my eyes. I stood from the bed and crossed my arms again. My action was preceded by Logan throwing the pillow he was holding at my chest. "Your arms are blocking the view."
"Logan!" I exclaimed as I punched him in his muscular chest. He began laughing as I walked away from the bed. Immediately he noticed and walked towards me. Grabbing my arm, he turned me back around to face him.
"It's a nice view, Marie."
"You've overextended your welcome." I pointed at the door. "Get out."
"Okay, fine." He said as he defensively held up his arms. "I'll leave, but I believe that I have something that you need." He wiggled his eyebrows as I raised mine. What could he possibly have that is mine?
"Oh yeah?" I challenged. "What do you have?"
"It starts with a b and rhymes with rah." Logan suddenly pulled out my white laced bra out from under his shirt and began dangling it in front of me. "I kinda imagined that you were a lace girl. Does your underwear match this?"
"Logan, this isn't funny!" My cheeks were red hot from embarrassment. I couldn't believe this was happening to me. I realized that I took my bra off while doing my homework last night and left it on the bed. It probably got tangled in the sheets and he found it while I continued brushing my teeth.
